SPIES HAVE FEELINGS TOO

We're coming to a close pretty soon here on The Americans, and with two more likely very intense episodes after this one, it makes sense that "Covert War" played things fairly low-key. Or at least it felt that way coming…

Covert War

A boring side storyline and side plot for the Elizabeth character that really slowed down the current momentum of the series and detracted from where things appeared to be going. Not the most exciting hour of TV.

Richard Patterson: (To Elizabeth) Your life is a lie. You kill, that's who you are, that's what you know, that's what you do. You grind people into dust. You have no heart, no soul, no conscience. Your hands are covered in blood. Do you care about anything? Do you love anyone?

ALLUSIONS (1)

Elizabeth's crossword clue is "Who was John Anderson's running mate?", the answer being Patrick Lucey. John Anderson and Patrick Lucey ran as independent candidates for President and Vice President, respectively, in the 1980 US General Election.
